Excerpt from Old Judge PriestSummertime would have revealed him clad in linen, or alpaca, or ample garments of homespun hemp, but this particular day, being a day in the latter part of October, Judge Priest's limbs and body were clothed in woollen coverings. The first grate fire of the season burned in his grate. There was a local superstition current to the effect that our courthouse was heated with steam. Years before, a bond issue to provide the requisite funds for this purpose had been voted after much public discussion pro and con. Thereafter, for a space, contractors and journeymen artisans made free of the building, to the great discomfort of certain families of resident rats, old settler rats really, that had come to look upon their cozy habitats behind the wainscoting as homes for life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Works of Irvin S. Cobb: Local Color Nobody particularly missed him, for he was not a famous author or even a popular one; he was merely well known as a writer of tales dealing in the main with crime and criminals and criminology. People that liked his writ ings said he was a realist, who gave promise of bigger things. People that did not like his writings said he was a half-baked socialist. One somewhat overcritical reviewer, who had a bad liver and a bitter pen, once compared him to an ambitious but immature hen pullet, laying many eggs but all soft-shelled and all of them deficient in yolk. Personally Felix Looms was a short, slender, dark man, approaching forty, who wore thick glasses and coats that invariably were too long in the sleeves. In company he was self-effacing; in a crowd he was entirely lost, if you know what I mean. He did not know many people and was intimate with none of those he did know. Quite naturally his departure for parts unknown left his own little literary puddle unrippled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Those Times and TheseAt the blast of the Emily F oster's whistles as she rounded to and put her nose upstream pre paratory to sliding in alongside the wharf, divers coloured persons of the leisure class had roused from where they napped in the shady lee of freight piles and lined up on the outer gun wales of the wharf-boat ready to catch and make fast the head-line when it should be tossed across the intervening patch of water into their volunteer hands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

non-fiction book. A comical take-off on our bodies and their imperfections--all in good natured fun. His four categories that he harps on are 1. Tummies 2. Teeth 3. Hair 4. Hands and Feet. All humorous and so very true even though this is a fiction book. Fun read
